Prozac Antidepressant Review

Fluoxetine is the generic form of Prozac but there is nothing generic about the side effects. This antidepressant was given to me by my doctor in a 20mg form of one pill once a day and I was on it for about about a month.

I thought I was okay because I could feel myself floating out side of my body. I would wake up to be tired, constantly thinking about death. Then my babies lost my pill bottle for about a week thats when all hell hit the fan literally. Worst then waking up to be tired was waking up to die. All I thought about was death: walking down the stairs I am going to fall and break my neck, driving I am going to crash. Kids school called they died, my heart beat to fast I thought I was dying.

I was out of my mind. I felt like I was looking down on myself but couldn't do anything to help myself. I cried for no reason and very very irritable. I called the doctor and was informed to keep taking it. Then I woke up wanting to kill myself--final straw. After the advice of my aunt which has been a nurse longer than I have been alive told me to miss a day. So I did. But then I missed another. I took myself off of the medicine four days prior to my appointment.

Each day got better although it felt like I was going through a heavy drug withdrawl (cocain, heroin) from what I seen. I never want that feeling again.

Now I am on Welbutrin, Buprion makes me tired but keeps me up will post on that next.

Other than my personal experience I have a cousin that was put on Prozac. Her experience was just as negative. We found her running around outside nacked because she thought she was on fire and didn't know who she was. Goes to say she never took that again. I should have learned from that experience.

I am not the type that likes to take medicine unless I truly have to. I want an antidepressent to take the edge off. But if I keep getting these results I am going to have to resort to nothing. As they say different strokes for different folk. You may get a different reaction, but I would say pay very close attention to yourself and your changes.
